About: I grew up with pets and have had my own dogs that I fully trained and cared for since I was 14 years old. Across the past 20 years, I’ve had 4 dogs ranging from golden labs to German shepherds to Golden Doodles. I am skilled in caring for dogs from puppy to senior age. Play in my fenced in back yard, long walks to the lake, and pup cups from Stone Creek Coffee are a few things your pet can expect if staying with me. I send frequent updates and pictures.

I also have a fenced in yard for addition play and outside time. Because my schedule is so flexible, your pet will receive all my time and attention!! I have a fenced in back yard. I also have a 5 year old goldendoodle in the house who will quickly become your pets BEST friend. She is sweet, trained, well behaved, and so loving with other animals. Your pet will be in the house with me, allowed to roam, go on furniture, and enter the yard via a dog door at their leisure. If your dog is crate trained, please bring a crate with you for the visit. I am experienced with crate training so can easily manage it.

“Abigail was wonderful to work with! She did a drop-in visit for my cat, and was extremely thorough and took so much care with my beloved kitty! I would definitely book with her again.”



About: I've taken care of multiple friends' dogs for 5 years for them to enjoy trips. I have become the trusted source for them to have less stress on trips knowing their dogs got to stay home and be loved on. My job is very flexible during the day so I can come & go as I need to check in on your dog & then at night be there for snuggles and more walks. I don't prefer pets in my home as it is smaller but at your home I treat it like my own. I aim to make the place look as good, or better than I found it. I will treat your dog how you request whether that's 10 pages of notes or a few simple things. I want your dog to feel like y'all never left but got a new friend instead.

About: I have pet sit for both friends and family for extended periods of time. Being responsible for care such as feeding, cleaning up after, and walking. I get done with work at 2 everyday so I am available for afternoon visits. I also have weekends and occasional wednesdays off so I can spend more time with the animals on those days. I make sure to follow owners directions exactly as written. And take care for animals how I would want my own animals to be cared for.
